Where to begin? For one, I’m definitely upset – but more in a depressed way – in how it ended. I’m happy for those who have survived (the most of them, at least), but I can’t stop mourning for that one character who died. Surely a lot have died throughout the course of these books, especially in this last one. While many of the villains died, and it is also expected to some of the heroes to die in an epic fantasy tale, I find it more than unfair for this particular character having died. Reading the last few pages have truly been torturing, knowing that this character won’t somehow miraculously be reborn, surely not even the mother tree is that powerful. But mostly because tears clouded my sight. (And sadly I’m not as powerful as Clun is, to be able to see even though being blind.) And even more upsetting that that one character died, but a particular other one survived. Oof... Overall, reading the books have been a ride of emotions. So much has happened. After all, about 18 or more years have passed in only 5 books. The characters went through a lot, more than most will in their lifetime. And it literally feels like I’ve lived these 18 years as well, although it has been scarcely 3 months only since I started reading the first book. The books will definitely hold a treasured place in my heart, but I’m not sure I will be able to read them again. Not without crying, at least. Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have a character to mourn over.
